***Riots do not occur spontaneously. They are planned.***

I remember reading about fifty five years ago that police knew there was going to be a riot in the future because suddenly buckets of rocks would appear on rooftops of local buildings.

“so that migrants could replace them and a cheap labor force could be created for the wholesale markets in the city center (e.g., Produce Market, Flower Market, Furniture Market, Fashion Market, Jewelry Market...”

As crackpot conspiracy theories go this one is a gem.

Big business greases the palms of the LA city council and the LA county board of supervisors. Eminent domain. The zoning board. The redevelopment agency. That’s how Dodger Stadium got its land and nothing is different today.

It wasn’t the beating that was bad, it was ((( the media ))), deliberately never telling the whole story, or showing the entire video, that ended up triggering the riots a year later.

And it was ALL king’s fault; he gets totally bliund drunk, and loaded up on PCP,and other similar drugs, then drives 100+ mph, endangering innocent motorists everywhere he drove, then starts the fight by trying to attack the cops. And because he’s full of PCP,he had temporary extra strength,and the tasers have no effect on him,and the cops have no choice but to wail away on him the way they did....and KING was the victim???? KING was the “good guy”????

Why are you quoting me on that? I didn't say it. I was replying to someone else who said it.

“World Can’t Wait” and so-called “Refuse Fascism”.

Fine, I’ll start “Refuse Racism Against Whites”.

The beginning of the 2 big , Black racist events that triggered the beginning of the end for Whites in the city that THEY,and ONLY THEY, made into the great city it was - that,and then o.j. 2-3 1/2 years later.

They led to White Flight,and the city has been going downhill since, all in the same old BS leftist Orwellian euphemisms,like “equality”, “fairness”, “quotas”,”racism”,”White”this, “White”that, “injustice”,”slavery”, and worse. Thanks, Rahdnay KAAAAAAAANG!!!!

Mzxine Waters & Mayor Tom Bradley stood in the AME church after the acquittal of the officers & ranted:

NO JUSTICE...... NO PEACE

Both should have been indicted for inciting the riots. IMO.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

I saw that it was addressed to me and included a quote at the top.
